here's my wife's colt with my 14" BBS
Image
Image
they are staying on it as it's for sale and we don't want much £ for it so the wheel's that now sit on my Cabby are only 12 mths old and cost a bit more £ than we want for the Colt :wink:

That has to be the biggest gap between tyre and arch that I've ever seen! What size are the council wheels?

oops!! :o: i fitted them in the pi55in rain, never even gave the direction a thought!
the car won't be moving much for a couple of week's so they can stay wrong
hopefully have the MiMs fitted for it being all leagle and some roof down driving :?

is the center bore the same size too?

couldn't get bbs on my toyota unfortunately as wrong center bore but it drove very well on a trial run - it's a really light car and good wheels gave amazing grip. how does the colt feel on bbs?

the centre bore was slightly bigger on the BBS than what the Colt need's .. not by much though, i didn't have to fiddle about fitting the BBS as the colt has stud's so they held the wheel while i put the bolt's on winkeye
as for the feeling while driving .. i couldn't tell you? all i did was fit them, made sure they cleard everything and handed the key's back to my wife :D
